Modernize Legacy IAM with Ping Identity

Legacy Identity and Access Management (IAM) is Holding You Back

The global health crisis showed us how quickly businesses can transform. It also magnified the cracks in outdated identity and access management (IAM) systems. Many enterprises are stretching legacy IAM to its breaking point. From longer time to value for new applications and services to the substantial support and maintenance costs of infrastructure requirements, these systems have exhausted IT bandwidth and budgets.

Unleash Your Digital Transformation

Modernizing legacy IAM delivers business value by making employees more productive, keeping your company’s critical assets more secure and making your business more agile.

Outdated IAM Can’t Keep Up

Legacy IAM products weren’t built to support hybrid IT. They can’t bridge between on-premises and cloud, which limits your deployment and infrastructure architecture options. Lacking support for identity standards and out-of-the-box integrations, you’re left dependent on custom coding for new apps—slowing down your digital business initiatives.

When vendors stop investing in older platforms, it puts the burden on your team to build and maintain custom integrations. Plus, when a legacy offering reaches end of life (EOL), vendors typically increase support fees while you remain locked in. You’re also left without modern identity features like social login, custom attributes and developer-friendly APIs that enable differentiated digital experiences for customers.

Lack of maintenance can lead to costly downtime and lost productivity; but finding experts to work on legacy IAM products is difficult; and upgrading legacy systems with codependent stack components is inherently risky. This leaves you vulnerable to the latest threats and attack vectors and unable to deliver seamless experiences.

Coexist, Migrate or Both. You Decide.

Over time, enterprises accumulate silos of multi-generational IAM tools and lack a single source of truth. Establishing a central authentication authority lets you assess which systems are foundational and which can be rationalized. Ping helps you avoid a rip-and-replace situation and instead chart a modernization course that ensures integration of key systems—including Microsoft Active Directory and Azure AD. Plus, a phased, smooth transition away from legacy IAM technologies like Oracle and Siteminder.
